Life is not always as beautiful as one might imagine. During my deployment to the Republic of Korea, I had first-hand experience with the repugnance of human trafficking. At the time, President Lee Myung-bak held a press conference with President Barrack Obama to discuss the foreign security policies implemented against the Democratic People 's Republic of Korea. My unit was ordered to Yongsan Garrison where we provided secondary security. The conference concluded without any incidents and I was released on liberty where I inadvertently walked right into the slums of Itaewon-dong. As I waked down the streets, numerous under aged prostitutes soon attempted to entice me. Immediately, I became light headed and thought I was in a nightmare. When

I am also interested in the application of game theory to terrorism. Mathematical models that can be used to accurately predict the political interactions amongst belligerent factions, collaborations of enemy combatants within a terrorist organization, and the interaction between diverse states are crucial to national security as they provide a proactive measure to combat terrorist activity. Ultimately, this topic is especially meaningful to me because of my personal experience in the United States Armed
